8 toe
Lincoln defeated Wichita in an extremely
interesting and exciting contest. 1t was an
uphill game for the home team as they could
do nothing at all with Hart. His pitching
was the feature of the game His halt in his
speed, and on this account it is hard work for
his catcher. Dolan caught only four innings
when Hoover took his place And right on
top CT this the umpire was somewhat against
the boys on balls and strikes. although posi-
bly, with them on decisions Of outs. At any
rate the boys could not get hit VIII it was
most needed, excepting Haber's drive to cen
ter In the eighth inning, which brought in
two runs. The other runs were the result OF
errors and good luck Hart won the game
for Lincoln, but Hart cannot pitch every
day. Long did the good batting for the Wis
itors, making three singles and long drive
to the left field fence which lost the ball in
the weeds allowing him to count home run
on what should have been two Dagger.
The game was intensely interesting in the
eighth inning when the runs made tied the
score, but the visitors directly knocked out
four singles, making two runs In the sixth
inning Leighton sprained his ankle In rnn-
ming to third, and had to retire
Baldwin took his place The two games of
today and yesterday show that Wichita is to
be an important member of the Western
League, and that we are to have some very
good ball playing from now on. 1t must be
remembered On account of accidents several
important positions are now being filed by
men of other positions.
